Fans react on social media to Craig Levein’s Hearts appointment

Craig Levein’s appointment as Hearts head coach sent social media into a frenzy. Here’s what fans had to say ...

Graeme Taylor: “Craig Levein was very successful Hearts manager and player and I will be right behind him and the team. I remember his enjoyable fast-paced counter-attacking football coupled with a hard to break down defence. Something we’ve been craving since November last year.”

George Watson: “Oh dear, what a shambles, this is ridiculous, do they not care about the fans anymore?”

Billy Butler: “Excellent news. We’ll massively improve under Craig.”

Derek Wilson: “How underwhelming. Meant to get a lift when a new manager comes in.”

William Sutherland: “Not my choice but we are all Hearts. Surprised though after having guys shortlisted for the job. They had to be rubbish during interview for this to happen.”

Ryan McMaster: “Win/win for us fans really. If he gets the team playing good football and gets results then we’ll be happy. If he doesn’t then he’s completely accountable, and we get rid of him.”

Duncan H L Smith: “Wrong choice. Great player and gave me great memories. I just can’t see him connecting with his players. I hope I’m proved wrong.”

Andy Mullen: “Win/win. Either he improves the team or he takes full responsibility and exits Tynecastle if he fails.”

Julie Wilson: “Regardless of what I think of the end appointment what an embarrassment going through four weeks of applications and an interview process!!”

Adull Amite: “Not happy. This is not the new experienced blood we need!”

Drew Mayne: “Great news, did a great job the last time.”

Craig Thomas: “Sad we didn’t get Mourinho or convince Fergie out of retirement, but this will have to do... Time to get behind the team 100 per cent, what a difference that would make! Can’t see it happening though.”
